Q: To find the difference in columns of data with respect to unique columns in java I have  a scenario where 2 lists are to be compared with 1st column being present in both the lists as unique ID and that difference in rest of the columns for corresponding ID's needs to be fetched.

E.g
List 1
  Apple    12 1
  Windows  12 3 5
List 2
  Apple    12 1 4
  Windows  12 3 5
Output:
  Apple 4

A: For ex
  ArrayList l1=new ArrayList();

    l1.add("a");

    l1.add("b");

    l1.add("c");

    l1.add("d");

    l1.add("e");

    l1.add("f");

    ArrayList l12=new ArrayList();
    l12.add("z");
    l12.add("b");
    l12.add("c");
    l12.add("d");
    l12.add("e");
    l12.add("g");

ArrayList outList = new ArrayList();

for(int i=1 ;i<l12.size(); i++)

 {

        if(!(l1.contains(l12.get(i))))
        {
            outList.add(l12.get(i));

        }
    }

Here outList contains element which are difference between 2 list but excluding 1st value of the list l1 and l12.

A: I have added comments. Check below code:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.TreeSet;

public class AddTwoArray {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<String>();
        list1.add("Windows 12 3 5");
        list1.add("Apple 12 1");
        list1.add("Orange");
        List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<String>();
        list2.add("Apple 4 12 1");
        list2.add("Orange 5");
        list2.add("Windows");

        TreeSet s1 = new TreeSet<String>(list1);
        TreeSet s2 = new TreeSet<String>(list2);
        TreeSet s3 = new TreeSet<String>(list1);
        TreeSet s4 = new TreeSet<String>(list2);
        s1.removeAll(s2);
        s4.removeAll(s3);
        List<String> diff = new ArrayList<String>(s1);
        List<String> diff1 = new ArrayList<String>(s4);

        List<String> diffArray = null;
        for (int tmp = 0 ; tmp < diff.size(); tmp++) {
            diffArray = findDiff(diff.get(tmp).split(" "), diff1.get(tmp).split(" ")); // call method findDiff

            if(diffArray != null){
                for(String tmp1: diffArray){
                    String[] diffSplit = tmp1.split(" ");
                    for(int i =0; i < diffSplit.length; i++){
                        System.out.print(diffSplit[i] + " ");
                    }
                }
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }

    public static List<String> findDiff(String[] diff, String[] diff1) { // find the different between two arrays
        HashSet<String> map = new HashSet<String>();
        List<String> diffArray = new ArrayList<String>();
        diffArray.add(diff[0]); // add unique key
        for (String i : diff){
            map.add(i);
        }
        for (String i : diff1) {
            if (!map.contains(i)){ //find different element between diff and diff1
                diffArray.add(i);
            }
        }

        map = new HashSet<String>();

        for (String i : diff1)
            map.add(i);
        for (String i : diff) {
            if (!map.contains(i)){   //find different element between diff1 and diff
                diffArray.add(i);
            }
        }
        return diffArray; //diff array
    }
}

Advantages of robust flash solution for digital signage media players & touchscreens
IAdea Germany CEO Björn Christiansen explains the special features of IAdea technology
Schwentinental, 26.09.2017 - IAdea specializes in optimizing the Android™ operating system for unattended applications with round-the-clock operation. Important improvements compared to conventional Android are:
More robust flash memory
Access control to protect against unauthorized tampering
Improved remote upgrades
Remote device provisioning
Improved multimedia performance
This essay focuses on IAdea proprietary features that protect a device from various flash memory related failures, these include:
Database replication
Overlay file system
Improved file system for SD cards
Reduction of the write volume
These improvements significantly increase the reliability of digital signage devices.
Flash memory houses components and operating system configuration parameters that are required for a device to function properly. Faulty flash memory is the primary reason a device "hangs" or becomes inoperable. Data contained in flash memory can be lost for two reasons: Power failure or flash failure. Both can cause devices to become inoperable and require costly site visits and repairs.
More often, critical failures associated with flash memory are not caused by flash hardware failure, but by the loss of data as it is written to flash memory. The Android device often assumes that there is a battery in the system, as is the case with most mobile devices, to prevent a sudden drop in power. However, the commercial/industrial hardware designs usually do not or cannot include a battery. The original Android design can show weaknesses when the power supply is suddenly interrupted.
Before being stored in flash memory, data is often placed in a "queue" backed up with DRAM, which can be millions of times faster than flash. Unlike flash, however, data in DRAM is lost in the event of a power failure. If this happens, essential parts of the system - such as file system indexes and configuration databases - can enter a faulty state. This often causes the device to become inoperable, making it inaccessible over the network.
Another cause of flash memory failure is physical wear and tear of the flash memory device. A flash memory is divided into "blocks" that have a limited life span measured by how often they are erased. When the allowable number of erases is reached, the block becomes unusable and must be replaced with one of the spare blocks. When the spare blocks run out, the flash memory becomes inoperable.
When data is evenly distributed across all blocks ("wear leveling"), a typical flash device can withstand trillions of writes, and that's really a lot. The typical mobile device makes a few changes every time a photo is taken or a call is recorded. On average, this happens a few times per day. Industrial applications, however, often need to store activity logs throughout, possibly thousands of times per hour. If the wear leveling mechanism is not properly developed, round-the-clock operations can quickly destroy flash memory.
For the mobile device industry, the eMMC (Embedded Multi-Media Controller) is used to provide a dedicated flash controller that replaces software-based flash control. A good eMMC controller provides optimal wear leveling and may allow the flash memory to shut down a little more gracefully when power is lost. However, the eMMC does not fix data loss in the event of power loss, so the system remains vulnerable to its most common problem. IAdea provides the fundamental architecture to effectively address this problem, regardless of whether eMMC or traditional flash storage is used.
IAdea's improvement over traditional Android addresses the flash failure problem with the following designs:
Database replication;
Overlay file system;
Improved file system for SD cards;
Reduction of the write volume.
These are each discussed in detail below.
Important system parameters in the Android operating system are stored in databases that are similar to the "system registry" in Microsoft Windows. While Windows keeps the system registry in the well-secured Windows NTFS-based system partition, Android's databases are in the weaker YAFFS2 file system. If these databases are corrupted due to data loss during the write process in the flash device, the device becomes inoperable and cannot be restarted.
IAdea's technology replicates or creates additional copies of essential system databases. When the system is booted, the technology detects if any important system data is corrupted. If this is the case, it restores the data using the backup copy. This allows the system to operate with the "latest known proper configuration."
Any application that changes system settings or uses its own user preferences (e.g. via the android.content.SharedPreferences API ) is at risk of data corruption; IAdea's database replication mechanism provides protection against this.
Mission-critical systems often require that their core be read-only and that no changes be made so that the behavior of the system is consistent and reliable throughout. When changes must be made, they are placed on a separate "overlay layer" that can be easily undone if necessary. The Microsoft Windows Embedded operating system, a special edition of Windows software for industrial applications, provides such a mechanism via its FBWF (File-Based Write Filter) technology. The traditional Android operating system offers no such design.
IAdea brings the overlay file system architecture to Android. Data writes occur exclusively in the overlay file system, including all configuration changes and software upgrades. A system reset can clean up this layer with ease, and a previous state of the device can be restored. This also protects the system against malware infections. A quick reset puts the device in a clean state so that it is functional again.
Any deployment that needs to be protected against data loss or unplanned changes to the data is guarded by IAdea's overlay file system feature.
Typical Android devices have an integrated flash memory and an SD card-based external flash memory. Application developers often prefer the SD card over the internal memory because the latter is often smaller and serves special purposes. Also, the SD card is easy to replace when it wears out completely, while the internal flash memory is not replaceable. However, due to Android's design, the SD card is poorly protected against data loss. An SD card inserted into an Android device is formatted with the FAT32 file system. this allows good interoperability when the SD card is used alternately with the Android device (e.g. your phone) and a PC or digital camera. However, FAT32 is an outdated technology that offers no protection against data loss. If the power fails while data is being written to the SD card, file errors may occur, eventually rendering an application inoperable. IAdea applies the EXT4 file system to the SD card, which is configured for the flash device in the sense of life extension. EXT4 is the common file system in Linux operating systems and contains some of the most powerful data protection mechanisms against harsh application conditions of all kinds. In the event that a power failure causes data loss, the technology detects and remedies the situation.
Applications that use the SD card for storage are protected by IAdea's enhanced SD card file system.
To save flash memory from its ultimate physical failure due to wear, the number of writes must be reduced. IAdea products are designed to take advantage of the physical structure of flash memory and reduce wear.
Flash memory is organized into "pages" (the smallest unit for read/write operations), and "blocks" (the smallest unit for erase operations) and contains a number of pages. Before data can be written to a page, the block containing it must first be erased. Technically, it is the number of erase operations that limits the life of a flash device.
One can reduce the number of erases by combining the data so that changing multiple pages in a block constitutes only one erase for the block. For example, if data is to be written to four pages within the same block, one option is to (1) perform an erase operation in the block, (2) write to page #1, (3) perform an erase operation in the block, (4) write to page #2, (5) perform an erase operation in the block, (6) write to page #3, (7) perform an erase operation in the block, (8) write to page #4. However, one can also defer the actions and wait for further requests so that the write operations can be combined, thus reducing the operations to (1) one erase operation in the block, (2) one write operation on page #1, (3) one write operation on page #2, (4) one write operation on page #3, and (5) one write operation on page #4. In the first case, four erase operations are required, and in the second, only one. This reduction extends the life of the flash memory by 4 times.
Conventional Android already performs a write volume reduction in a limited way. However, the longer you wait for write requests, the higher the risk of losing the queued requests in case of a power failure. Since Android tends to become inoperable during such events, the extent of write volume reduction is very limited.
IAdea's proprietary technology does an aggressive job of reducing write volume for flash memory, as it is protected from the side effects of data loss, as noted earlier.
IAdea improves the Android operating system by solving problems for industrial applications and provides resilient protection against flash memory-related failures. The improvements allow Android applications to run more reliably 24/7 unattended. Key IAdea benefits:
Greatly reduced risk of equipment failure due to improper shutdowns and sudden power outages
Prevention of service interruptions
Simplified service upgrades
Reduced deployment and maintenance costs

At 99 Southwark Street lies a remarkable little museum. It is remarkable because it isn't actually a museum at all. It is a functioning testing works.
The Kirkaldy Testing Museum is actually an English Heritage listed building which houses David Kirkaldy's pioneering testing machine.It is a huge hydraulic machine which was designed by David Kirkaldy, a Scottish engineer, in Victorian times to test the strength of materials, especially metal.
After the industrial revolution bridges and other structures started to be made out of new materials like steel and Kirkaldy's innovation set the international standards for testing which we benefit from even today.
You can visit the works, which still get asked to test certain items today. They have crushed pianos, cars, tennis rackets and even tested how much string is weakened by having a knot in it.
It's open on the first Sunday of the month for live demonstrations and a short lecture but you can also make a private appointment and have them stretch, twist or crush something of your choice!
What is incredible is that the building is actually a part of the machine. So they aren't allowed to change anything as it's all connected to the massive machine.
Those Scots! They didn't half produce a lot of great inventors!

Is a 'Cure' for Cancer Only a Year Away?
by Mike BarrettPosted on February 2, 2019
You probably know someone who has had cancer. Perhaps you've been diagnosed with it yourself. Hearing a doctor tell you that you have the "C-word" is one of the most frightening experiences a person can have. But scientists in Israel say a cure for cancer is only a year away. Could it really be true?
According to the Jerusalem Post, a small team led by Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies CEO Ilan Morad has found what it refers to as a sort of "cancer antibiotic" – a treatment called MuTaTo (multi-target toxin) which uses a combination of cancer-targeting peptides and a toxin that specifically kills cancer cells.
Since MuTaTo kills cancer cells, patients could likely stop treatment after a few weeks and not need a drug cocktail throughout the rest of their lives.
Dan Aridor, the chairman of the company's board, said:
"We believe we will offer in a year's time a complete cure for cancer. Our cancer cure will be effective from Day One, will last a duration of a few weeks, and will have no or minimal side effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments on the market."
The team has already completed its first exploratory experiment in mice with "promising results." The treatment was found to inhibit cancer cell growth without affecting the mice's healthy cells. The company will undertake the first clinical trials of the treatment soon, and expect the trials to be completed within "a few years." Shortly thereafter, it could become available in specific cases.
Morad said his team made sure that the treatment cannot be affected by cancer cells that can mutate in such a way targeted receptors are dropped by the cancer. Researchers will be able to personalize the treatment to individual patients, as well.
The news is exciting, but the American Cancer Society (ACS) warns that it is too early and not enough about MuTaTo is known to embrace it as a true "cure" or even a viable treatment. [2]
"This is far from proven as an effective treatment for people with cancer, let alone a cure. The news report is based on limited information provided by researchers and this work apparently has not been published in scientific literature."
There were 17 million new cancer cases in 2018, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and 9.5 million people died from cancer worldwide. The global cancer burden is expected to grow significantly by 2040, the ACS says. [1]

Hyman Griebowitz says:
Dr Royal Raymond Rife had a cure for that and many other diseases 80 yeasrs ago. He was drven out of the profession and died a penniless alcoholic.
Undecider says:
Cures have always been around. But people are waiting for the "Big Pharma" sanctioned cures.

Any help on the same is appreciated, even if understanding the underlying cause of this problem.
I have tried

ng add @angular/material

but both did not work and resulted in moreover the same issue.
I have also tried
npm install --save @angular/material

but the same error occurs

A: ng add is preferred over npm i in Angular projects, because versions are matched when using it, whereas npm does not match versions.
Here, it seems you only have a patch mismatch (semver = major.minor.patch), which probably happens because the latest versions of the libraries are not done yet, whereas the angular version has been done already.
You can either downgrade your angular version to 14.2.0, or you can use npm i @angular/material --force to force installation without checking for versions matching. Be warned that this method is not advised, you should know what you're doing when doing this. Also, you will have to add all boilerplate yourself to add angular material to your app, since you don't use ng add.

The new entity's mission is to create the world's most in-depth cyber defense services
SAN DIEGO - December 8, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
With the backing of Nautic Partners, Security On-Demand announced today it has acquired Booz Allen Hamilton's (NYSE: BAH) commercial Managed Threat Services (MTS) business. MTS and Security On-Demand will operate as one unified organization and brand: DeepSeas (deepseas.com).
Leveraging deep expertise that combines world-class cyber threat detection with industry-leading analysts, tailored threat intelligence, and accredited incident responders, DeepSeas is always on, always watching. With a combined track record of nearly 30 years of experience in cybersecurity, DeepSeas will offer its 300+ clients and new mid-market and enterprise customers advanced, integrated cybersecurity solutions across the enterprise's attack surfaces.
The acquisition of MTS comes in an environment in which threat actors are continuously working to compromise organizations. Enterprise and mid-market clients struggle to attract and retain talent with the skills required to effectively deploy, integrate, and manage security solutions at scale to reduce risk of brand damage and/or intellectual property theft or destruction.
DeepSeas will offer clients industry-leading cyber threat detection, analytics, and data science, as well as expert workflow and intelligence across a variety of industries.

We have the ability to deliver a scalable cybersecurity platform in addition to the skills to help clients customize their security programs," said Chris Esemplare, Chief Executive Officer of DeepSeas.
Booz Allen Senior Vice President, Wade Alt, will join the DeepSeas leadership team as Chief Operating Officer.
"This acquisition is a testament to the talent and achievements of Booz Allen and our MTS team. It creates exciting opportunities to serve clients in new ways across a rapidly expanding and extremely dynamic cyber market," said Alt. "Together with Security On-Demand, we look forward to exposing our talent to new opportunities to deepen and expand their cyber skills. Our combined talent and offerings give DeepSeas customers a unique portfolio of solutions that enables us to protect their environments with industry-leading tradecraft, talent, and technology."
"We are delighted to join together with the MTS team," said Peter Bybee, Founder and CEO of Security On-Demand. "Leveraging our complementary skills, advanced technical capabilities, and highly skilled workforces, we will further expand our differentiated solutions for clients as they navigate an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape."

Tizanidine is a myotonolytic agent FDA-approved for the management of spasticity, which may be caused by multiple sclerosis, an acquired brain injury, or a spinal cord injury. It has also been shown to be clinically effective in the management of patients suffering from chronic neck and lumbosacral neuralgia with a myofascial component to their pain and regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes.[1] Animal studies have shown that tizanidine provides benefits in the perioperative period and the management of neuropathic pain such as trigeminal neuralgia, similar to the effects of clonidine under similar circumstances. Clinicians also prescribe it off-label for migraine headaches, insomnia, and as an anticonvulsant. Tizanidine can also be part of a detoxification therapy regimen in patients exhibiting analgesic rebound headaches to assist with analgesic withdrawal.
Spasticity is a common symptom of upper motor neuron disorders. Tizanidine is widely used as a spasmolytic agent for the management of these debilitating conditions. However, the data regarding the efficacy and safety of tizanidine compared to other approved skeletal muscle relaxants such as baclofen, dantrolene, and diazepam is limited and of older date.
Placebo-controlled studies confirm the significant efficacy of tizanidine in reducing spasticity in patients with spinal cord-induced spasticity. Literature suggests that patients with more severe spasticity are more likely to benefit from the therapy. Drug comparison studies have shown no differences in the efficacy of tizanidine compared with baclofen or diazepam. The Tizanidine treatment group did not report increased weakness when compared with controls. Furthermore, patients using tizanidine experienced fewer adverse effects than those using controlled substances.[2]
Other comparison studies showed that tizanidine, baclofen, and diazepam were equally effective in decreasing excessive muscle tone in patients with multiple sclerosis or cerebrovascular lesions. Muscle strength improved in all three treatment groups, but the improvement was greatest with tizanidine.[3]
Shakespeare et al. also reported similar findings showing no differences in efficacy between tizanidine, baclofen, and dantrolene when compared to diazepam.[4] However, diazepam was associated with more sedation. Another study by Lataste et al.[5] showed no significant differences between tizanidine and baclofen or diazepam for muscle tone, muscle spasms, clonus, muscle strength, or overall anti-spastic effect. However, tizanidine tolerance slightly better than diazepam and baclofen.
Groves et al.[3] report no significant differences between tizanidine or baclofen or diazepam for spasticity by "Ashworth score." However, applying "global tolerability to treatment" favored tizanidine compared to baclofen and diazepam. Wallace et al.[2] evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of tizanidine, baclofen, and diazepam and reported increased withdrawal symptoms due to adverse events to tizanidine.
Tizanidine, an imidazoline derivative is a central acting noradrenergic alpha-2 receptor agonist resulting in impairment of excitatory amino acids like glutamate- and aspartate-release from spinal interneurons and increasing presynaptic inhibition of motor neurons with the greatest effect on spinal polysynaptic pathways.[6] The overall effect of these actions is thought to reduce the facilitation of spinal motor neurons. Similar alpha-2 receptor-mediated inhibition of interneuronal activity appears to underlie the additional anti-nociceptive and anticonvulsant activities of tizanidine. Spasm frequency and clonus are also reduced by tizanidine.[7] Tizanidine also has an affinity for the alpha-1 receptors but to a lesser degree, which may explain its mild and transitory effect on the cardiovascular system compared to clonidine despite their structural and biochemical similarity.[6]
Tizanidine has a significant, first-pass hepatic metabolism with an oral bioavailability of 20% to 34%. Tizanidine has an elimination half-life of 2.5 hours, and it follows linear pharmacokinetic principles. The steady-state concentration of tizanidine is reached within 24 to 48 hours after administration, and there is no noticeable change in its pharmacokinetic behavior with repeated intake.[8]
Tizanidine is metabolized extensively in the liver by CYP450: 1A2 to inactive metabolites and excreted 60% through urine and 20% through feces.
Tizanidine is administrated orally as 2 mg, 4 mg, and 6 mg capsules or as 2 mg and 4 mg tablets. Dosage starts with 2 mg orally and may repeat every 6 to 8 hours as needed. The dosage may gradually increase by 2 to 4 mg per dose of 1 to 4 days in between until there is a noticeably significant reduction of spasticity. Maximum dosing is three doses every 24 hours, up to 36 mg daily. Tizanidine can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. If it is used for more than 9 weeks or given in high doses ranging from 20 mg to 36 mg daily, then one may consider discontinuing by tapering the dose 2 to 4 mg per day to reduce the risk of tachycardia, rebound hypertension, and increased spasticity. The patient may open capsule, and its content sprinkled into food. However, absorption of the drug is increased significantly when administered under fasting conditions.
Tizanidine is generally well-tolerated. However, reports exist of potential adverse effects on several organs such as cutaneous, gastrointestinal, neurologic, cardiovascular, endocrine, and respiratory systems.
Common adverse effects include xerostomia, drowsiness, asthenia, dizziness, hypotension, bradycardia, constipation, urinary frequency, blurred vision, dyskinesia, nervousness, hallucination, and rhinitis.
Serious adverse effects include hepatotoxicity, severe bradycardia, QT interval prolongation, severe hypotension, syncope, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis, and exfoliative dermatitis. Tachycardia, rebound hypertension, and increased spasticity may occur when discontinuing the drug abruptly.
Concomitant use of tizanidine with fluvoxamine or ciprofloxacin is contraindicated due to significant hypotension and increased psychomotor impairment.
Because of potential drug interactions, using tizanidine with other CYP1A2 inhibitors such as oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol and gestodene, dronedarone, pimozide, saquinavir, cimetidine, famotidine, acyclovir, and ticlopidine should be avoided due to decreased clearance of tizanidine. If tizanidine is clinically necessary, therapy should be initiated with 2 mg and increased 2 to 4 mg daily based on patient response to therapy. If adverse reactions such as hypotension, bradycardia, or excessive sedation occur, the dose should be reduced or discontinued. The use of alcohol should be avoided. Tizanidine should be used cautiously in patients on other alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists.
Tizanidine is contraindicated in patients reporting allergies to the drug itself or any other component of the formulation used.
Tizanidine use requires caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment. In such patients, individual dosing should be decreased. If high doses are necessary, increase the individual dose rather than the dose frequency.
Creatinine and liver function tests require measurement at baseline, then one month after the maintenance dose is achieved. Periodically monitor liver function tests in patients managed with tizanidine on a chronic basis and in higher doses. Monitor signs and symptoms of hypotension before increasing the dose.
There is no antidote for tizanidine toxicity. Tizanidine overdose management is by close monitoring of airways, administration of intravenous fluid, and catecholamines as necessary.
Tizanidine is a myotonolytic agent often prescribed by the nurse practitioner, primary care provider, emergency department physicians and internists for the management of spasticity, which may be caused by multiple sclerosis, an acquired brain injury, or a spinal cord injury. It has also been shown to be clinically effective in the management of patients suffering from chronic neck and lumbosacral neuralgia with a myofascial component to their pain and regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes.[1] The drug does relieve some spasticity, but practitioners need to monitor the patient's liver and renal function. The drug can also cause hypotension, and the patients need to be warned not to combine it with antihypertensive medications. This duty falls to the entire interprofessional team, including clinicians, nursing, and pharmacists. Nurses can check compliance, monitor for adverse events, and counsel patients on signs of adverse events as well as dosing. The pharmacist should verify the dosing regimen, perform medication reconciliation for drug interactions, and be available to answer any patient questions. All ancillary members of the healthcare team need to report any concerns to the prescribing clinician. Tizanidine can be an effective therapeutic agent, but it requires the entire interprofessional healthcare team to collaborate and communicate for therapy to be successful. [Level V]

The Weekend Round-up
The Secret Life of Pets has been highly anticipated ever since the ingenious first trailer was released over a year ago and it duly delivered, debuting with the biggest opening weekend for an animated film this year. With £9.5m, which included £3.8m from previews, it's well on track to be one of the biggest family films of the year.
Independence Day: Resurgence opened on Thursday, and after four days in cinemas has banked £5.1m (including £944k from previews). The Friday to Sunday total of £4.1m is the eighth highest opening weekend of the year. The original Independence Day opened with a hefty £7m 20 years ago.
The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Case had a strong second weekend, adding £1.6m. That's a drop of just 44% once previews are removed and is extremely impressive for a horror film. It has now grossed £7.7m, making it the biggest horror film since the first The Conjuring.
Me Before You continued its terrific run, having the strongest hold in the top 10, falling 32% to £670k. That brings its total to £8m. The Nice Guys completed the top five, adding £203k for a new total of £3.5m.
Outside of the top five, the only other new entries were down in 14th and 15th, with Elvis & Nixon opening with £57k and Bollywood title Sardaaji 2 opening with £56k. Overall the box office was up 96% from last weekend.
Central Intelligence opens on Wednesday 29 June and unites Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in an action comedy from We're The Millers director, Rawson Marshall Thurber. After he reunites with an old school pal through Facebook, a mild-mannered accountant (Hart) is lured into the world of international espionage. It's proved a hit in the US, where it has grossed $69m in 10 days.
Absolutely Fabulous is the big screen debut of the hit sitcom, which pulled in over 9m viewers for its Christmas special in 2011. This time around Patsy (Joanna Lumley) and Edina (Jennifer Saunders) flee to Cannes after they are accused of killing Kate Moss. It opens on Friday 1 July.
The Shallows is a thriller starring Blake Lively as a surfer who, a mere 200 yards from shore, is attacked by a great white shark, with her short journey to safety becoming the ultimate contest of wills. It's directed by Jaume Collet Serra (Non-Stop, Unknown) and opened in the US this past weekend to an impressive $16.7m, considering its production budget was just $17m. Reviews were positive, too, with IndieWire saying "the action is visceral and immediate", Time Out New York calling it "a tremendously entertaining bit of fluff" and The Guardian calling it "one of the more cleverly constructed B-movies in quite some time". It's out on 12 August.
Finding Dory held on to the top spot, adding $73.2m, for a huge new cume of $286.6m. That's the largest second weekend of all time for an animated film and the eighth largest second weekend of all time. It's already the 13th highest-grossing animated film ever, after just 10 days in cinemas.
Independence Day: Resurgence opened in second with $41.6m. Central Intelligence added $18.4m in third and after 10 days in cinemas has now banked $69.3m. Blake Lively vs a shark thriller, The Shallows has a solid opening, kicking off its run with $16.7m in fourth and The Free State of Jones completed the top five, opening with $7.8m.

Mizzou President Quits After Faculty Walkout
OUSTED
Updated Apr. 13, 2017 6:22PM ET / Published Nov. 09, 2015 11:14AM ET
University of Missouri President Tim Wolfe announced his resignation at a the Board of Curators meeting Monday. "This is not, I repeat, not, how change should come about," Wolfe said in an announcement, while adding that change comes from listening to others. "I take full responsibility for the inaction, and I take full responsibility for the frustration that has occurred." Wolfe had been under fire for his handling of recent racially-chargede incidents on campus, including someone shouting the n-word at the Legion of Black Collegians and the reported smearing of a swastika in feces on a bathroom wall. "Please, please use this resignation to heal, not to hate, and let's move forward together for a brighter tomorrow," Wolfe concluded. The administrator's resignation also brought an end to graduate student Jonathan Butler's hunger strike, which ultimately aimed to replace the top official.

"The challenge before America today ..."
by Sargent Shriver Peace Institute | 11/16/2020 10:41AM | Quote of the Week | War on Poverty | Peace Corps
Our Quote of the Week reminds us that unless we place the welfare of humanity above all else, in our politics, commerce, and in all of our systems, we are prioritizing the wrong things.
In his fiery and engaging 1967 Address at the University of California, Sargent Shriver quoted sources as diverse as Tolstoy, Ghandi, and Sonny and Cher. He also recounted stories from his time leading the Peace Corps and building the programs of the War on Poverty. Drawing from his personal experiences and from world events, Sargent Shriver admitted that there were many examples of injustice, inequality, and violence occurring around us. He stressed, however, that we all could and must have a role in creating a more just and loving world for each other. Shriver placed particular emphasis on love in the speech, stating that although we aren't accustomed to thinking of it that way, love is, in fact a power:
"We aren't used to hearing that word love. Especially when love is mentioned as a power. In the corridors of world power, many things are more potent than love — money is power, consensus is power, votes equal power, military force is power ... Some even say that ... suburbia, plus white backlash, plus advertising, plus TV is power. Yet within a world of riots, and murders and napalm and "burn, baby, burn," some men and women are turning to love."
Note the references rooted in the 1960s, which refer to the growing civil unrest and "white backlash" of the era, as people joined together to protest for racial equality, economic opportunity, women's rights, and gay rights, and against state-sanctioned violence, including the war in Vietnam. It's fascinating to read these words from the viewpoint of 2020, when the domestic demographics and international conflicts may have changed, but the human tensions and causes of protest have not. We continue to suffer from a lack of love and humanity in our systems and in our decision-making, and we are paying a heavy price. As COVID-19 continues to rage out of control in many states, and too many of us still suffer under the crushing weight of poverty and inequality, the time to focus on humanity and on building people up is long past due. "The challenge before America today" remains the same, but its urgency is exponentially greater.

Despite opposition of DRI, former finance minister P Chidambaram launched 80:20 gold import scheme
Members of a PAC sub-committee have found that the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence was not in favour of the 80:20 gold import scheme launched in 2013 during the tenure of the then finance minister P Chidambaram, sources claimed here after officials of the finance ministry shared details with the panel.
The sub-committee of Public Accounts Committee (PAC) headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has also decided to recommend a CBI inquiry to look into the procedures followed by the then finance minister in launching this scheme, a member said on the condition of anonymity.
The DRI had hinted that the scheme could lead to round-tripping of black money and money laundering, the sources claimed.
In August 2013, the then UPA government had introduced the 80:20 rule, which allowed traders to import gold only after they had exported 20 per cent of gold from their previous import. The rule was scrapped in November 2014 after the NDA came to power.
As per the details shared by the finance ministry officials with PAC sub-committee looking into the 80:20 gold import scheme , the DRI was clearly against introduction of this scheme and had even hinted that it could lead to money laundering and round-tripping of black money, the sources said.
Last week, while discussing the CAG report of 2016 on gold imports, the members had questioned Chidambaram's role over the alleged misuse of the 80:20 gold import scheme by jewellers including fugitive Mehul Choksi for money laundering, sources said.
The Revenue secretary and top officials of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) had appeared before the panel.
The members pointed that the scheme resulted in a loss of over Rs 1 lakh crore to the exchequer and said even the CAG report had said to support the earning of one US dollar (around Rs 60 then) for jewellers, the government had to bear the expenditure in the form of duty foregone of Rs 221.75.
Through the process known as round-tripping, black money that goes out of the country returns as white money.
Members asked the ED director, CBDT and CBEC chairmen and Revenue secretary to share all file notings with them and also probe the possible linkages between the scheme and the PNB fraud.
The CBI has alleged that Choksi and his jeweller nephew Nirav Modi defrauded the Punjab National Bank of around Rs 12,636 crore. Both left the country in January.

The upcoming exhibition on Cuban contemporary art
Works, installations and performances. A guideline on Cuban art inside and outside the island.
CUBA. Tatuare la storia
curated by Diego Sileo and Giacomo Zaza
The PAC in Milan explores foreign cultures through contemporary art, drawing for the 2016 a guideline on Cuban art, both inside and outside the island, incorporating artists from different generations active from the 1970s onwards.
TATUAR LA HISTORIA (Tattooing History) means leaving a mark on a shared identity of Cuba, the metaphor itself for the meeting of cultures flowing into a Creole and tropical horizon, a "mirage" of an utopian but intrinsically contradictory world.
Each artist at the PAC exhibition will be a part of the journey towards Cuba, with its magnificence and its difficulties, its sound and furore, its cultural, linguistic and mythical issues, its ideological differences.
Starting from the historical performative nature of contemporary Cuban art, the exhibition will present a large selection of works and installations — some of them conceived for the PAC — of the most representative Cuban artists and the most up-and-coming artists of the new generation, a section dedicated to Lázaro Saavedra (National Prize of Plastic Arts 2014) and a tribute to the two most influential Cuban artists, Ana Mendieta and Félix González-Torres. The exhibition will extend into MUDEC, the Museum of Cultures in Milan, with a site-specific installation by the artist Eduardo Ponjuán (National Prize of Plastic Arts 2013).
Promoted by the City of Milan and produced by PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea and Silvana Editoriale, the exhibition is supported by TOD'S, the sponsor of the PAC's exhibition activity, with the contribution of Alcantara and the support of Vulcano.
After Milan, the exhibition will move to the Cantieri della Zisa in Palermo (ZAC) from 7 October 2016 to 8 January 2017), confirming the collaboration – begun in 2014 with the exhibition by Regina José Galindo – between the two cities and the two public exhibition spaces devoted to contemporary art.
ARTISTS Juan Carlos Alom, Tania Bruguera, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Javier Castro, Celia-Yunior, Colectivo Enema, Susana Pilar Delahante Matienzo, Ángel Delgado, Humberto DÍaz, Carlos Garaicoa, Luis Gárciga, Luis Gómez Armenteros, Antonio Gómez Margolles, Félix González-Torres, Grupo Arte Calle, Ricardo Miguel Hernández, Tony Labat, Ernesto Leal, Los Carpinteros, Meira Marrero & José Toirac, Carlos Martiel, Ana Mendieta, Reinier Nande, Glexis Novoa, Marta MarÍa Pérez Bravo, Eduardo Ponjuán, Wilfredo Prieto, Grethell Rasúa, René Francisco Rodriguez, Lázaro Saavedra, Tonel.

Pavel Adamovitsj von Plehve (Russisch: Павел Адамович Плеве) (Keizerrijk Rusland, 11 juni 1850 - Moskou, 28 maart 1916) was een Duitse officier die exclusief tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog in het Russische leger diende.
Plehve was een van de weinige Duitse officieren die hun exclusief-diensten aan de Russische tsaar Nikolaas II beloofden, en daardoor met het Russische leger tegen hun eigen land vochten.

Eerste Wereldoorlog
Hij kreeg het bevel over het Russische 5de leger dat hij leidde tijdens de Slag bij Lemberg en tijdens de verdediging van Łódź in 1914.
Het jaar daarop kreeg hij het bevel over het nieuwe Russische 12de leger, dat hij leidde in de Tweede Slag bij de Mazurische Meren in februari 1915 (waar het Russische 10de leger verslagen werd door de Duitsers). Hierna keerde hij terug als commandant van het 5de leger. Voor korte tijd had hij ook het bevel over de noordelijke sector van het oostfront.
Hij werd jarenlang geplaagd door zijn slechte gezondheid waardoor hij in februari 1916 uit het leger moest. Hij stierf later datzelfde jaar.

The First Civil Right:
How Liberals Built Prison America
by Naomi Murakawa
Oxford University Press, 2014, 260 pp.
Between the late 1970s and the mid-2000s, the percentage of Americans in prison quintupled. It is well established that a resurgent conservative movement was responsible. Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow demonstrated how conservative politicians—starting with Barry Goldwater, expanding with Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign, and culminating with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980—used a fear of black people and the call for civil rights to solidify Southern support for the right. Implicit in this story is the idea that liberals were either well-meaning losers who were outmaneuvered by conservatives, or that they were hammered into acquiescence to the new carceral regime by electoral losses.
Naomi Murakawa's The First Civil Right: How Liberals Built Prison America dismantles these explanations. Her book is a remarkable investigation into the historical relationship between postwar liberalism and the growth of mass incarceration. Through a detailed analysis of several key Democratic crime bills, she demonstrates how the ideology of liberalism played a role in the growth of the carceral state. And though Murakawa isn't fully convincing that liberal law and order was necessary for mass incarceration, she makes a strong case that liberalism is unlikely to undo the prison state.
Murakawa argues that liberal law and order contributed to the rise of prison America with a distinct set of ideas and solutions, forged and tested during three waves of riots: white riots against the black population in the 1940s, both in Northern cities and in the South; urban riots by the black population in the 1960s; and prison riots throughout the 1970s. At each step liberal lawmakers developed theories about criminality, racism, civil unrest, and the state. Each theory, in turn, fueled the growth of the carceral state and created persistent roadblocks to reform.
In 1943 alone, forty-seven cities experienced 242 violent racial battles, largely initiated by white Americans against minorities. This includes the famous "Zoot Suit Riots" in Los Angeles, where white people attacked Mexican Americans while cops either participated or looked the other way. At this time, Detroit's white and black communities were in open conflict and lynchings continued throughout the South.
Though these riots were largely ignored by the Roosevelt administration, Truman would later try to address this urban crisis. Truman's efforts culminate in the 1947 report To Secure These Rights, which Murakawa argues is one of the first statements of liberal law and order. According to Truman's vision of liberal law and order, says Murakawa, racial violence is a result of individual prejudice and too much local discretion. The solution is greater federal management and training, which is believed to reduce prejudice and fix the procedures that allowed for violence against black citizens. This fairer system, in turn, would reduce what was presented as black lawlessness.
Liberal law and order expanded during the urban riots of the 1960s. President Johnson and other Great Society liberals led a second attempt to increase the professionalization and accountability of local police through federal efforts. This built on the theories developed in the 1940s. As one senator put it, police professionalization would teach "slum children [to] have respect for the law" because the police would in turn be responsible and attentive to their needs. But liberals like Johnson warned of the "destructive rebellion against the fabric of society" caused by black unemployment and, echoing the Moynihan report, "the breakdown of the Negro family structure." Arguing that "a rioter with a Molotov cocktail" was just as much of an enemy of progress as "a Klansman with a sheet on his back," Johnson failed to adequately critique structural white supremacy. Black rioters were not the same as white terrorists.
This culminated in President Johnson's 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which increased federal involvement in criminal justice, normally the province of states and municipalities. The New Yorker described the bill as "a piece of demagoguery devised out of malevolence and enacted in hysteria," though Murakawa emphasizes its consistency with the thinking of the 1940s. Here, however, the system starts to break down—money meant for specific training programs was suddenly turned into block grants for local police to do whatever they felt would advance a law and order agenda.
During the prison riots of the 1970s, the liberal law and order regime continued to view crime as a reaction to an unjust system, rather than as the product of inequality. In 1971, 1,200 prisoners revolted at a prison in Attica, New York, taking hostages for a four-day standoff. When state police and the National Guard took control of the prison, intense fighting led to forty-three deaths. Ignoring the prisoners' own demands, which included proper medical care and edible food, the subsequent investigative committee concluded that prisoners were angry that the criminal justice system was inherently unfair, and that riots resulted when it "fails to dispense justice and impose punishment fairly, equally and swiftly."
Liberals, lead by Senator Ted Kennedy, proceeded to overhaul sentencing. Senator Kennedy introduced several sentencing reform acts in the late 1970s designed to reduce the exercise of discretion in sentencing and parole. His efforts, however, were increasingly pulled to the right by the new political environment and ended up playing straight into the conservative revolution. By the time the Sentencing Reform Act was passed in 1984, instead of just reducing discretion in order to mitigate arbitrary sentencing, it also permitted consistently longer and harsher sentences, leaving the most vulnerable even worse off.
Things went from bad to worse in the 1990s. The First Civil Right is particularly brutal on the Clinton years and his passage of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in 1994. In the Clinton years we see the liberal law and order narrative begin to fracture. Here, the driving ideological forces are a punitive response to the black "underclass" combined with Clinton's efforts to "reinvent" government along more neoliberal lines.
Democrats were trying to take the issue of crime away from Republicans by emphasizing how punitive they could be. As one staffer noted, "[Senator Joe] Biden strongly believes that the Administration needs to seize control of the issue by upping the ante." Even though crime began its long decline at this time, Clinton infamously funded police and prisons with the money "saved" by firing 252,000 federal employees. Here we can see how vicious and long-lasting the "triangulation" of the 1990s turned out to be.
From the Truman era forward, liberal law and order thinking saw racist outcomes as the result of locally-based, individualized racism, and attempted to fix this with professionalization of the system and federal money. Murakawa identifies three mutually reinforcing problems with this approach.
The first is that by trying to build a "neutral" state capable of carrying out fair procedures, liberals are simply feeding a beast that will always be one step ahead of reformers. Reforms give resources and credibility to a system that simply adopts an even more punitive stance. Calls for more modernization of the system, for example, end up directing more resources to local officials who inevitably use it to advance a more punitive law and order agenda.
Murakawa explains how many of the most important reforms tend to increase the power of the state. Miranda warnings ("the right to remain silent"), for instance, are nominally intended to protect people being interrogated from incriminating themselves under duress. However, in cases where the warnings have been waived, they allow police officers a free hand to engage in coercive interrogations. A reduction of sentencing discretion just transfers power to prosecutors, because the initial charges that are filed matter much more in determining what the final sentences are.
This adds to another problem, which is how the notion of black criminality becomes entrenched. Law and order conservatives see black criminality as civil rights gone too far, while law and order liberals see it as not going far enough. Both assume black criminality in the first place, leaving the entirety of the debate between liberal and conservative law and order thinkers focused on what causes black criminality, rather than how to address the actual conditions of black Americans in society.
The last problem with liberal law and order is its preference for technocratic solutions—it simply sees racial violence as an administrative problem. This means that the debate becomes focused on how to improve the system and make the process fairer—what are the best kinds of prisons to build?—rather than undertaking major social reform and rethinking what the actual scope of criminal justice should be. Alternatives to policing and incarceration, for instance, disappear entirely when the debate is focused on how to be the fairest kind of jailer.
It's a remarkable story. However, there are problems with Murakawa's analysis. The first is that it doesn't deliver on the title. The real story isn't how liberals built prison America, but how liberals justified prison America. The text of the book is more careful than the title on this point, and it emphasizes the role of liberals in providing legitimacy for mass incarceration. The book ultimately doesn't convince that liberal law and order was responsible for creating either the necessary or sufficient conditions for the massive and sudden build-up of the prison system that began in the late 1970s.
This is especially true since incarceration exploded as the liberal order collapsed. The late 1970s, when incarceration started to skyrocket, also marked the triumph of both neoconservative and neoliberal ideological movements. Conservatives succeeded in tying the urban crisis not just to the expansion of civil rights, but also to the entire social-democratic project. Scholars Alice O'Connor and Jamie Peck have argued that right-wing think tanks like the Manhattan Institute formulated a theory that applying the discipline of the market to social life—by privatizing schools and municipal functions, and dismantling welfare—would complement zero-tolerance policing and sentencing.
This in turn means that it's harder to draw Murakawa's straight line from Truman and Johnson to Clinton. Their liberalisms were different. The first two were distinctly part of a project to expand the federal state against the Jim Crow South, which clearly prompted a more bureaucratic and federal law and order solution. Clinton, on the other hand, fought in an era where he conceded that the "era of big Government is over."
Clinton's strategy of embracing mass incarceration was designed to wrest the issue away from conservatives. But he was also trying to find a place for the state at a time when its very legitimacy as an agent of the public good was collapsing. It was then that pure police power stepped into place. As Clinton's staff noted at the time, "there is a natural link between reinventing government and fighting crime" and that the administration "should steer government away from things it doesn't know how to do, into things government can do best"—like policing and punishment. As law professor Bernard Harcourt has noted, during the two periods when the carceral state was rapidly expanding—the 1820s and the 1980s—the ideology of the marketplace did too.
Beyond these points about liberalism, The First Civil Right, like The New Jim Crow, doesn't offer a convincing explanation for the violent crime wave of the 1970s. Violent crime did go up in this era, and while both books argue that this was largely a mechanical result of the baby boomer generation aging, they don't explain how this scrambled political coalitions.
As James Forman Jr. argues in Racial Critiques of Mass Incarceration: Beyond the New Jim Crow, many black communities in the late 1960s themselves called for punitive anti-drug measures; Harlem activists called for what would become the Rockefeller drug laws and the NAACP Citizens' Mobilization Against Crime demanded "lengthening minimum prison terms for muggers, pushers, [and first] degree murderers." Both Murakawa and Alexander would argue that communities with higher rates of violent crime don't approve of the punitive tactics that dominate policing today, measures like mandatory minimum sentencing and aggressive quality-of-life policing; but this doesn't explain how these communities themselves contributed to building prison America.
Indeed, the remarkable thing about mass incarceration is how locally driven it is. Eighty-five percent of those incarcerated are in local or state prisons. Groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) pushed standardized bills designed to scale up punitive sentencing in one of the most effective state-by-state campaigns of the past several decades. Meanwhile, conservative think tanks pushed the "broken windows" theory by stressing the importance of aggressive arrests for the most minor infractions, and so helped build prison America from the bottom up. Missing this history leads us to absurd situations where libertarians like Kentucky senator Rand Paul blame the federal government for the death of Mike Brown and Eric Garner, when what's really terrifying about these deaths is the sheer banality of local beat cops killing young black men.
Even if we cut the prison population in half, it would still be two and a half times greater than it was in the 1970s. And the goal of cutting prison America in half is difficult given the current state of politics. But even if there is a wave of reform, Murakawa shows that liberalism, with its focus on procedural accountability, will be unable to challenge our system of mass incarceration. We can see this with initiatives like police officers wearing body cameras. Abuses are already setting in, with police simply turning them off before shootings or using them to further monitor communities. Our new goal should be to focus on decriminalization, to find alternatives to current regimes of policing and jails, and to scale back prison America. Unlike the liberal reformers of the past sixty years, we should be thinking not about how to make the system better, but about how to take it apart.

What about Major Crimes season 6? We know already the release date! The series was renewed for a 13-episode sixth season.
Want to know more about the release date of season 6 of the Major Crimes series? Channel TNT has ordered new episodes, and their release is appointed to the fall 2017.
A formal decision on the renewal of the series has not been surprising the critics, because at the moment the rating allows to finance the project. By the way, there is a fear that the ordered sixth season will be the last for the Major Crimes, this time it is planned to develop a total of 13 episodes.
On the other hand, it was something like that in the fifth season when right holders originally ordered a partial season, and later increased the number of episodes to 21.
Well, the release date of season 6 is appointed to October 21, 2017 and there is no official announcement from TNT about the ending of the series. We hope that Sharon Raydor in the near future will not leave his post of captain Major Crimes Division, because it is really a good replacement for Brenda Leigh Johnson.
Major Crimes season 6 release date – [October 21, 2017]
News from TNT will be published in the updates below. Follow the announcements.
Major Crimes no season 7

Þorsteins saga Síðu-Hallssonar () is one of the sagas of Icelanders from the 13th century.  The saga is only partially preserved and  features a number of dreams and interpretations.
Torstein Side-Hallsson (Þorstein Síðu-Hallssonar) has a series adventures in the Orkney Islands, Ireland, Norway and Iceland during the early 1000s. The  story also tells of Torstein participating in the Battle of Clontarf  in 1014.

Plot
As the saga is only partially preserved in surviving manuscripts, the first part has been lost. The text resumes with the protagonist Þorsteinn Síðu-Hallsson going abroad, entrusting his goðorð (chieftaincy) to his friend Þórhaddr. Þorsteinn enters the service of Jarl Sigurðr of Orkney and fights at the Battle of Clontarf. Meanwhile in Iceland, Þórhaddr mistreats his son-in-law Haukr.

When Þorsteinn returns to Iceland, Haukr appeals to him for help, and Þorsteinn demands his goðorð back. Þórhaddr refuses, so Þorsteinn forcibly ejects him from the district. Þórhaddr retaliates by slandering Þorsteinn, but then has a series of disturbing dreams in which it is implied that he and his sons will be killed by Þorsteinn, but that Þorsteinn will later be killed by a mere thrall. Soon afterwards, Þorsteinn personally kills Þórhaddr's three sons, and although the ending of the saga has also been lost, we can assume that he subsequently kills Þórhaddr himself in a second encounter.

Þorsteinn's fate is related in a separate þáttr (a short-story version of a saga) called Draumr Þorsteins Síðu-Hallssonar ('The Dream of Þorsteinn Síðu-Hallsson').
